HELLO FELLOW VICTIMS – THIS IS ROB, KATHEY’S HUSBAND!

You know, I just verified that Alabama really is one of the 50 States that comprise the United States. I thought I’d double check, because I’ve been watching the most out of control system I have EVER seen! It AMAZES me that DHR, the Guardians ad litem, and the Family Court Judges, have such an incredibly blatant disregard for CIVIL RIGHTS, but even MORE importantly, for COMMON DECENCY!

If you read through the 50 or so complaints on this site, which is up about a month as of this blog entry, you see the same or similar stories from unrelated people. Over and over the theme is that they’ve been in effect, kidnapping/stealing children in a variety of ways including listening to hearsay, making things up, intimidation, and flat-out lies.

The bottom line is that they often rip the children from their homes, often with no legitimate reason, and then they work on keeping the children, moving them far away from their parents/guardians, denying them the right to see the children, and ultimately adopting the children out. It’s the same complaint, over and over and over, and we have amassed HUNDREDS upon HUNDREDS of complaints thus far.

We want you to know that we hear your cries for help, and we want you to know that we are taking every possible aggressive legal action to bring the offenders to justice.

In our case, not only did we lose our niece, but our niece lost contact with her sister, her Aunts, uncles, cousins and everyone she’s known for the last 10 years.

I don’t know how the people that are responsible for this atrocity can sleep nights. I assume that they are not good, church-going people. If they are, then they have an awful lot to learn.

It is my hope that one day, the offenders are incarcerated for all of the harm that they have caused to the children and their families, and that the State of Alabama pay dearly for their arrogance.

When we started out, we contacted everyone we could from DHR to Governor Robert Bentley to say that changes need to be made and cases including ours need to be looked into.

It all fell on deaf ears. The good-ole-boy network wouldn’t hear of it.

Well, you all hang in there because I’ve made it my mission to see to it that the proper authorities review what’s occurred and take the necessary corrective action.

And as a final note, Denise, Billy, Labrisco, Sara, and Nancy, if you’re reading this: The First Amendment applies to people living in Alabama just like in the other 49 states. You can’t steal our children and then tell us to shut up! IT WON’T WORK! WE’RE NOT SHUTTING UP ANY MORE! STOP STEALING OUR CHILDREN!

  1. In Alabama, on August 19, 2008, a hearing was held in the Lauderdale County Court to determine the custody of my son, a 12-year-old who had been in my sole legal and physical custody since May 1998 when Limestone County Circuit Court granted an uncontested divorce. Our lives have since been turned upside down by unconstitutional actions of the Lauderdale Court.

    The case began on April 11, 2008, with nothing more than a hand-written letter to the judge from an estranged grandparent. This was not a proper petition to the court, per Alabama Code Section 12-15-52(c) which states that “the petition shall set forth with specificity” what the petition is asking, to include “the facts regarding jurisdiction; the name, address of the child.” That Record also shows that the grandmother didn’t pay a filing fee to the court. Therefore, my son and I were never properly before the court.

    According to the Code of Alabama, “provided a showing of verified evidence of abuse or neglect—evidence required (and there was none), a hearing is required within 72 hours of issuance of order.” The “hearing” was scheduled 12 days after the emergency pendente lite order was issued, and it wasn’t an evidentiary hearing, nor a dependency hearing. I did NOT go before the judge, nor the judge or any attorney instruct me as what was at issue, other than a “custody case” held in a civil court, not a juvenile court.

    In addition, §12-15-53(b) of the Alabama Code states that a copy of the petition shall be attached to each summons—and there was not. In fact, there is not a “Motion for Injunctive/Preliminary Relief” on record; the record shows that the Petition on docket record nothing more than that hand-written personal letter, not a sworn affidavit, written to the trial court, which ends with “am seeking your help.” Again, this is not a proper petition with the court

    At issue here is an erroneous finding of dependency and (what amounts to) a termination of parental rights as I have been denied all rights to my child. The trial court based its ruling on hearsay and inaccurate testimony as well as evidence which is questionable as to its origin and relevance, and evidence obtained through questionable means.
    When trial courts rule on the removal of a child from his parent(s), it is paramount that rules of procedure, including State Codes and Federal Statutes, be adhered by the trial court making this life-altering decision. Not only should best interest be shown, but the trial court should specially state how a change in custody would benefit the child more than not. These rules of procedure did not occur in my case.

    On August 21, 2008, the Lauderdale County trial court ordered, adjudged, and decreed the that my son is dependent, without “clear and convincing evidence, competent, material, and relevant in nature” as required by §12-15-1(10), Alabama Code 1975. A dependency hearing was not held by the trial court, I was not informed that dependency was at issue, nor was I informed of any rights whatsoever regarding any of the trial court’s proceedings.

    Section 26-14-6.1(3) of the Alabama Code states that all reports of child abuse and neglect shall be investigated by the Department of Human Resources. DHR was specifically excluded from the pick-up order on April 11. However, I went to DHR for help, and they initiated a Safety Plan on May 8, 2008, one month after seizure of my son by the court. I voluntarily cooperated, completing drug testing and a psychological evaluation. DHR’s investigation was concluded on June 25, 2008, with a finding of “not indicated” to allegations of abuse/neglect. This should have been the end of the case.

    However, Judge Sandlin granted legal and physical custody of my son, without stating why a change in custody would benefit the child and without investigation of Appellee’s fitness as a parent, contrary to §12-15-1.1(2) which instructs the courts “to remove the child from the custody of his or her parents only when it is judicially determined to be in his or her best interest…”. Section 30-3-4.1(e) of the Alabama Code of 1975 states that “the court shall make specific written findings of fact in support of its ruling.” Specific written findings of fact should have been included in the court order, but they were not.

    The judge denied any visitation—contrary to the goal of Alabama Code Section 12-15-1.1(1), which states that the courts should strive to “preserve and strengthen the child’s family whenever possible, including improvement of home environment.”

    The judge found me in contempt of court “due to her deliberate violation of this court’s orders” and ordered Appellant to serve five days in jail, without recognizing on record that I had filed for Emergency Jurisdiction, Protection from Harassment (for myself and my son), and Emergency Child Protection on behalf of Minor Child in Maine as provided by the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA, Section 204 and Alabama Code §30-3b-204.)

    Due process errors by the trial court included a denial of Appellant’s right of cross-examination, as provided by §12-21-137, which belongs to “every party as to the witnesses called against him,” as well as lack of notice of the hearing and no legal representation.

    I have not seen my son since Sept. 2, 2008, when he was pulled from my arms in Bangor Maine, begging to stay.

    Permanent termination of parental rights has been described as “the family law equivalent of the death penalty in a criminal case.” In re Smith (1991), 77 Ohio App.3d 1, 16, 601 N.E.2d 45, 54. Therefore, parents “must be afforded every procedural and substantive protection the law allows.” Then how is it that my son was taken from me without us having any protection whatsoever under our own Constitutional laws?

  2. Due process errors by the trial court include denial of my right to cross-examine witnesses, per Alabama Code12-21-137. I was NOT given notice of the final custody hearing, and the court dismissed my attorney, and failed to appoint other counsel to represent me. Judge Sandlin held the final custody hearing in violation of the 1st, 5th and 14th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution.

    I worked for the state of AL …. Home Health . DHR came in and took my Granddaughters and my Grandson from her gave them to me and a year later gave them back to the mother , DHR told her if she would Divorce her husband she would get her kids back , in which she did all she wanted was her girls back home . when they all were given back to her a week later the boy was taken again this time being sent to Foster Care , I fought and did everything to get him out of the system which took me 6 mo to do . After getting him home with me DHR goes back into my Daughters home 2 mo later only to take her Daughters . My Daughter has never done Drugs , she doesn’t drink . she doesn’t go clubbing , she’s always held down a decent Job , they reason they took them was when they came to her home she had a Man in her home …. when did it become against the law to have a man in your home ?? I need help , I only want us to have our Beautiful babies back that was taken away and placed into Foster care … They Gave me one child but refused to give me the other 2 …. I don’t understand if I’m good enough for 1 then I should be good enough for all !!!! Limestone CO DHR Does not look after the Children I think they are looking to see how much lining they can add to their pocketbooks …. just my thoughts and my opinions about LIMESTONE CO !!

    • OK first of all I like the creatively but no I won’t argue with the “FACTS” nor do I believe someone in that situation is fit to keep there own life organized let alone grant custody of a child! Though these accusations sound very believed but I don’t see any physical evidence. It’s all circumstantial. As anyone with any kind humanity or reasoning “WOULD PLAINLY TELL THE MENTIONED MOTHER .” “They wouldn’t want their kids around them if they was on ” Exima or Heroween” or whatever it is these “System raised” Hoodlams get hopped up on. A child can be a handful even to the most well trained and educated mother’s. If i was on some sort of crack pipe I’m sure a curious, energetic child traveling at the speed of light around the house would be enough to make me seek long needed help. So Who the hell let him out thinking he ever had his life in control when he wasn’t floating past the gravitational pull of Jupiter, let alone ignore any kind of ask for help!? Now of course he has a very BIIIIIGGGGG mouth and how his brain processes half of what spews out faster than it can process the meaning is beyond even. Im sure he didn’t take the time to research every criminal procedure that CAN be exercised but if that knowledge was easily obtained through telmate or Google then who would need college? But so Im not misquoted I’d bet he’d agree with a majority of these point of views had it not been the thought of continuing a perpetual cycle and due to the fact if he ever met “ssv. Incrementz” he was never aware or seen any to give the state and wouldn’t stress what mind he had left away. So id object to that and he had to come up with some desperate attempt at a defence. I mean who Ever says, “I want to endanger kids and abuse my wife” I LOVE LIVING in jail!?!? No that doesn’t sound like anyone I’ve ever heard met that got served justice. But I’ll explain my point of view on the lock em away system on another post. But just because someone might seem like a bad parent or has been don’t mean you should define them based on that alone. But hey if you posted it with that much belief there’s no way you have anything personal against him. Let justice be swift. He should have been raised better I guess. But I have a better idea.. Someone help me (having been a bad parent and more) come up with a way to give back to the ones who I’ve done wrong instead of arguing legal procedures. Anybody have any solutions that would help Florence? real solutions I can start with today. Let’s post about that!!+
